Minnesota Twins: Joe Mauer

While he may never be the power hitter he was in 2009, Mauer is as consistent as they come at the plate with a .324 career average.

Mauer is signed through 2018 and is looking to get the Twins through these tough years. While he may never win a world title with the team, his leadership could set the team up for long-term success well after he leaves the game.

Texas Rangers: Adrian Beltre

The Texas Rangers are another team dealing with the loss of their leader as Josh Hamilton left for Los Angeles.

Going through the roster, the only real player that has stepped up to be the leader is Adrian Beltre.

Since coming to Texas, Beltre has belted 71 home runs.

With the Rangers having lost so much from last year's team, they've needed Beltre to continue to produce. And that's exactly what he has done, helping lead the Rangers to a 13-7 record to begin the year.
